Kansas to Colorado

June 12, 2024 - Reading time: 2 minutes

Today was mostly a driving day, as I traversed Kansas completely and arrived nine hours later in Denver.  I had barely dipped my pinkie toe across state lines into Kansas prior to today, but the traffic was sparse and the weather was gorgeous.  It reminds me a little of Montana, with its wide open green spaces and gentle rolling fields.  And I learned a little history while passing a sign on Interstate 70 west of Topeka stating  “first project in the United States completed under the provisions of the new Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956.”  So that was neat.  

The highlight of the day was catching up over dinner in Denver with a dear friend of our daughter who we’ve known since their middle school years.  On their recommendation we enjoyed a fantastic meal at Culinary Dropout.    Check it out if you’re in the area someday.  The service was outstanding and it has a super chill vibe.
